Cannot copy Photos from external storage library

I want to copy my library of Photos of my iMac to an external storage device. I use an SD card to copy the files on as is the storage device external only I with sufficient capacity to store my library (21,86 GB). When I run the copy, all right, but eventually it stops about 21.5 GB (do not remember the exact number). It comes up with the error message "the Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in"Photo library"cannot be read or written. (Error code - 36) ». The library contains a very important image and video files and while I don't have a backup of it on my Time Capsule airport, I added a lot of files since then. One thing I found on other messages of the forum is to repair my library by pressing the command and option that I opened the Photos but I'm afraid that something can go wrong or could not even solve the problem, however if someone thinks he can do the trick I will try it. BTW - the SD card works fine as I tested it on my MacBook Air and it works for other files on my iMac. I also tried using a different SD card but had the same problems. I am running OSX 10.11 version (The El Capitan Public Beta Candidate GM). The reason why I have not yet updated to my computer because I'm worried cause more problems with my library of Photos and, as I said, my only relief is most likely is obsolete. I use an iMac late 2013 and I have had no other problems with my computer, or I do now with the current version, I'm running. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance and wish you a wonderful Christmas.

What format is the SD card?  The photo library can be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (logged)

and as for backups without a good current backup that you will lose data early as things do lack, including the hardware, software and human - you need a constant backujp as TimeMachine anytime

    Hello

    The format of the files you want to copy basically described what kind of files they are. Word documents, of .mpg, jpeg, etc.
    However, it seems that the problem is with the drive itself, not individual files.

    You happen to have any installed Roxio program? Specifically, Roxio Easy CD Creator?
    If so, you should remove this program, restart the computer and try again.

  • Gets the air space, copy Photos on external hard drive.

    If I copy and paste the picture on a USB application (which works very well, I have all my pictures) is the photo still be there when I open the app copied on my computer once I have them deleted on my Mac? I would like to remove all the photos from the first photo app that I have to make room, but keep photos somewhere (not iCloud).

    I would also like to know if after I open the old one and adds new photos of Photos on the Photos app, which is now on my external hard drive. (somewhat like fusion of the old and the new) Is this possible?

    Thank you very much!

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

    1. exit Photos

    2 copy the library of your folder on the external drive.

    3 press and hold the option (or alt) key while launching Photos. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

    4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.

  • Remove photos from my iphoto library and want to remove them from my phone

    Hello! I deleted a bunch of photos from iphoto on my computer and I want to that they be deleted from my phone, but when I plug my phone he wants to re - import all those pictures instead... is possible to synchronize so that everything I deleted on my computer will be deleted from my phone? I have a macbook air and iphone 6. Thank you!

    Once you have imported the photos from your iPhone via a USB port, you cannot synchronize the deletions to the iPhone. You must manually remove the photos.

    If you want to remove photos from all devices, when you delete Photos on your Mac, you must enable iCloud photo library.

    iCloud library update changes or deletions you make on one device on all other devices and keep libraries of Photos on all identical devices.  And if you take a photo with your iPhone, it appears automatically on your Mac.You need however enough storage in iCloud to organize all your photos.   See this link: iCloud Photo library FAQ

  • copy photos on external hard drive

    Can someone give me a method step by step to copy the photos and videos on my photos/iphotos to my mac to an external hard drive please? As far as I understand it, is not simply a matter of copy and pasting. Or is it? Sorry in advance, I'm not very technical interest.

    Do you want only the pictures and videos on the external drive, or do you want a backup of your iPhoto Library library or a library of Photos?

    For a full backup, select the iPhoto library and photo library in the Finder and drag the libraries in the folder to your external drive.  To store libraries, the external drive must have the file system format "Mac OS extended (journaled).

    If you only want copies of your photos and videos, export them Photos and iPhoto.

    See Terence Devlinuser Tip: export for iPhoto

    It explains how to export your photos from iPhoto.  Use the same method in Photos to export your photos in folders on the external hard drive.

  • Cannot transfer photos from iPhone 6s for iMac.

    Configurations:

    OS X EL Capitan - 10.11.4

    Photos App - 1.5 (370.42.0)

    iPhone iOS 6s - 9.3.1

    As you can see that I use all the stuff leading up to the most recent software available. I have seen this recently and have tried almost all the possible solutions, provided by apple support as, cable only apple, direct connection to the iMac, iPhone-imac is restarted.

    Basically when I try to copy my photos on iMac iPhone connecting to through apple cable and open the photos app in iMac. just as it was before my iPhone will appear in the import section, and from there it would begin loading photos available for importing photos from my iPhone here. But now it starts to load pictures (empty skeletons), but before he can load images iPhone disappears from the photos app, so I'm not able to transfer my photos. I know there are tons so as to move the photos to iMac, but technically it should work too (my favorite and the easiest of all).

    experience tried

    (1) I also tried with the option/alt and start iMac touch; s app photos to create a new library to see if it works this way, no luck.

    (2) the iPhone at the moment appears click on import button photos all without selecting the photos, it starts to copy some but after awhile, it fails with the iPhone in endangered and above screenshot attached failure msg.

    are there problems at pictures of mac side app or iPhone app. I keep my stuff to date so not sure when you have this problem started. I suspect it all started when I activated video 4K on my iPhone but not sure than just a speculation.

    any kind of suggestion will be useful thanks.

    Hi damdude,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    I see that your iPhone is not recognized by your iMac or Photos when you try to import images into your photo library. Have you tried several good troubleshooting steps. Because the same thing happens in a new library of Photos, try to import images using Image Capture -Capture of Image: transfer images and other elements of your device.

    If the same thing happens with the Image Capture, I recommend trying to import the photos to another computer, as mentioned If you can not import photos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer:

    If the same problem occurs on a different computer, restore the device and put it up as a new.

    If you need to restore your iPhone, you can save it using iCloud, so you won't lose your latest photos. Another option could backfire on iCloud photo library. For these steps, see How to back up your device using iCloud or iTunes and iCloud FAQ Photo library.

    Sincerely.

  • Cannot copy images from any type of disc. ??

    Cannot copy pictures on any type of disc. the computer behaves as if she is unable to format the drive? I thought that this was done automatically.

    Hello

    ·        What is the exact error that you are experiencing when you try to burn the disk?

    ·        Outside photos, you are able to burn other files on the disk?

    ·        You use any burning software to burn the photos to disk?

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    I suggest to format the drive and check if you are able to burn discs or not. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    a. be aware that Windows XP, in its native form, does not directly support CD formatting. Formatting a CD requires support for the ISO images that is missing from Windows XP.

    b. download or buy CD and formatting of third-party burning software. Third-party CD utilities include features like CD burning, imaging of CD and the CD put fit.

    c. install the third-party software, following specific instructions in accordance with the software documentation. Many programs will require you to restart Windows to complete the installation. Close all other applications and do it.

    d. place the disk you want to format in the drawer. Make sure that it is in the drawer of CD - R or CD - R/W and not another tray (tray of DVD) or a simple CD player.

    e. start the third-party application and follow the instructions on the screen as they appear. Choose the "Format CD" option on the file menu, or choose 'Create a new CD.' This application controls tend to vary an application to, so be sure to check the documentation.

    f. don't forget to leave the CD in the taskbar until the process is completely finished. If you remove the CD before the completion of the formatting, you will ruin the disc.

    g. give a volume name to your new CD.

    I also suggest you to check the article mentioned below.

    Should which CD or DVD format I use?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/which-CD-or-DVD-format-should-I-use
